Till Death we parted

Jerome we shared a lot of years together from childhood to the time we got married. At 12 years old I knew how I was going to marry at it was YOU. We had four children and we had 14 grandchildren, nine great grandchildren that kept us busy over the years. We did not stay together but we always remained very close friends.
